In the desk of the old scholar's study, the washing pen used to hold the washing pen is one of the essential appliances. In addition to practical value, pen washing is deeply loved by literati who pursue elegant and exquisite life interests because of its elegance, exquisiteness, different styles and different decorations. Among the materials used to wash pens are jade, agate, enamel, ivory and rhinoceros horn, which are already very valuable. This kind of pen washing is of course expensive. It is the most common and handed down porcelain brush wash, and there are many pleasing works of art. Therefore, brush wash will naturally become the object of collectors' curiosity. During the Republic of China, Xiao Shunong, the shopkeeper of Yawenzhai Antique Store in Beiping Liulichang, was invited to identify a flowerpot at the door of an old house. After the appraisal, when he came out of the building, he occasionally looked back and saw a pile of broken bottles and cans under the eaves. And there is also a Haitang-style pen wash. So he smiled and asked Mrs. Wang, who gave it to him, "Do you want to sell this pile of junk?" Mrs. Wang said, "Anyway, it's all junk, and no one has cleaned it up for me. You are willing to take it away. " So Xiao Shunong went out of the house, found a rag collector, sold him a bunch of bottles and cans, and left himself a Haitang-style pen wash. Gave the old lady five dollars. Xiao Shunong returned to Yawenzhai and washed the pen wash with soapy water. After careful identification, it was confirmed that it was a pen wash in Agger kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, which could fetch 600 silver dollars. Xiao Shunong occasionally looked back and picked out a big leak.

Old collector Chen Chongyuan's "Antiques Talk about Old News" has a story of "Cui bracelet washing pens for Jun kiln". It is said that during the Republic of China, an old Hanlin in Beiping married a concubine, who privately exchanged her favorite jade bracelet with the Song Dynasty Jun kiln pen collected by the old Hanlin. When the old Hanlin learned that the little wife had changed the jade bracelet with a pen, he couldn't help flying into a rage, shaking all over, and shouted loudly, "You are such a jerk! That Song Jun kiln brush was awarded by Guangxu, which is my family heirloom. Don't mention a jade bracelet, you can't change a hundred pairs of jade bracelets! Where do you know' Jun Kiln Thousand Mansions'? ! What an asshole! Too mixed! " The youngest wife did not show weakness and jumped back: "Guangxu gave you a treasure. How can you kowtow to Emperor Hongxian? " ! "It's really like a knife poking in the heart of the old Hanlin." Selling leaks made Hanlin sick and soon died in the west. The owner of the jewelry store who got this pen wash partnered with other antique dealers and sold it at the price of 14000 yuan. The buyer sold it to an American antique dealer and got 25,000 silver dollars. The money can buy thousands of acres of fertile land in JD.COM Plain at 1930!

In 2000, an Anhui collector, Zhu spent six years sincerely exchanging court colored pens for washing, which is a typical example of antique lovers' persistent pursuit of treasures. He heard that a retired veteran cadre in Feixi sanhe town had a porcelain handed down from ancient times, so he went to visit the 78-year-old man. The old man said categorically that "the treasure handed down from generation to generation" is purely a rumor. Zhu did not rush for success, but made friends with the old man. He often visited the old man, and his sincerity finally touched him. In 2004, the old man finally let Zhu watch the pen wash. This pen wash is 33 cm in diameter and 8.5 cm in height. It has patterns such as phoenix climbing, welcoming pine, plum blossom and sunflower. It has bright colors and perfect appearance. Later, the old man fell and was hospitalized. He takes care before and after running, just like a son or daughter honours his parents. In 2006, the old man finally agreed to transfer the family heirloom to him. Antiques are doubly wonderful because of their profound historical and cultural connotations. The story of antique collection reflects the goodness, evil, beauty and ugliness in the world, and also gives people a feeling of chewing olives and endless aftertaste.
